Oh, Colorado's Calling Me

"Oh, Colorado's calling me
From her hillsides and her rivers
And her mesas and her trees.
When blizzards snap the power lines
And all the toilets freeze
In December in the Colorado Rockies."

"Colorado," by Christopher Guest, Sean Kelly and Tony Hendra, from the movie "Lemmings"

Actually, Chevy Chase and John Belushi did another version of this and the last line of that chorus was changed to "when it's springtime in the Colorado Rockies" for a Saturday Night Live skit.

Weather report, just because it's noteworthy today.

Currently - around 4:30 PM MST - it is clear and the sun is shining on Phred.

Earlier today, the skies were dark, it started snowing, turned to rain, precipitation stopped and the sun came out. And melted the accummulated snow.

This happened twice today.

Last I checked, our toilets had not frozen. Yet.

Welcome to near springtime in Colorado.
